Headless Shopify Storefront Development on Hydrogen
Hydrogen is Shopify's recommended and opinionated approach to building creative and dynamic commerce experiences.
Custom theme development
We will design and develop theme or template for you
Each business is unique. Show yours with a fully custom theme. Lightning fast, sophisticated, and secure with top performance. At Increasio we have high quality standards for the code, attention to details and we care about responsive on every most used screen.
PageSpeed always green
More conversions, better performance
Speed is revenue in commerce: every 100ms of load time measurably moves conversion. Hydrogen storefronts we build ship with green Core Web Vitals as the acceptance criterion, not a stretch goal - see our custom Hydrogen storefront project.
What is Shopify Hydrogen - and when do you actually need it?
Hydrogen is Shopify's React-based framework for building fully custom storefronts on top of Shopify's commerce backend. Your products, inventory, and checkout stay on Shopify; the storefront itself becomes real software you control completely - every pixel, every interaction, every millisecond.
You don't need Hydrogen if a well-built Liquid theme covers your brand. You do need it when the theme becomes the ceiling: conversion-critical page speed, storefront features no app provides, content-rich shopping experiences with a headless CMS, or a design language that theme constraints keep watering down. That's the honest line we draw in the first call - sometimes our answer is "stay on Liquid," and we'd rather tell you that in week zero than in an invoice.

From Liquid to headless, without losing rankings
Migration is a discipline, not a rewrite
Most of our Hydrogen work starts from an existing Liquid store. The migration that works: URL structure preserved or 301-mapped completely, structured data and metafields carried over, Core Web Vitals improved (that's the point), and a staged cutover so organic traffic never sees a gap. Commerce SEO is unforgiving - a storefront that loads twice as fast but lost its category rankings is a failed project, and we scope migrations to prevent exactly that.
What we deliver on every Hydrogen project
Fully custom design
Designed in Figma for your brand, not adapted from a theme. Our design and engineering are one team, so what's designed is what ships.
Green Core Web Vitals
Sub-second LCP on product and collection pages as an acceptance criterion, verified on real devices before launch.
Checkout stays on Shopify
Payments, taxes, and fraud protection remain on Shopify's rails - customization where it pays, platform reliability where it matters.
Headless CMS for content
Editorial content in Hygraph, Contentful, or Sanity alongside commerce - brand storytelling without developer tickets for every banner.
Third-party integrations
Reviews, search, subscriptions, analytics, ERP - integrated server-side where possible so your speed budget survives your marketing stack.
Post-launch ownership
You own the repo and every account from day one; retainers cover framework upgrades and performance monitoring.
Frequent Shopify Hydrogen questions
What is Shopify Hydrogen?
It is Shopify's web framework for building modern e-commerce storefronts, particularly designed for server-rendered React applications. Hydrogen leverages the full power of Remix, from the cart, product forms to pagination.How can I know pricing?
Reach out to us using the contact form at the end of this page and we will give you a quote on your project.What services do you provide?
We can update your current Shopify, migrate you to headless Hydrogen, and create a storefront for you from scratch, including design.Do you use other headless frameworks with Shopify?
Yes! We are using and can create for you a headless Shopify storefront using Next JS, Svelte, or other JavaScript frameworks.How much does a Shopify Hydrogen storefront cost?
Typical custom Hydrogen builds run 6-10 weeks; migration complexity, catalog size, and integrations drive the budget. Send your store and you'll get a fixed-scope estimate within 48 hours.Will moving to Hydrogen hurt our SEO?
Done properly, it should help - faster pages and cleaner markup. The risk lives in the migration: URLs, redirects, and structured data have to be mapped completely. That mapping is a scoped deliverable in every migration we run.Can we keep our Shopify apps?
Backend apps (inventory, fulfillment, email) keep working unchanged. Storefront-injected apps (widgets, popups) need headless-compatible equivalents or a small custom build - we inventory every app in the estimate so there are no surprises.
